The Speculative Wordsmiths

This group fosters the development of local authors' work through honest but fair criticism; to provide encouragement and inspiration to those authors as they write and submit their work for publication; and to provide a support network for those authors. There are no fees or dues, but the Speculative Wordsmiths require a serious commitment. Members must be willing to participate fully in the group's activities, and to give as much as they receive. Strong membership participation is critical to the group thriving and new members are expected to carry on that tradition
